Yes. Jordan Peterson talks to Roger Penrose about that:
Dr. Peterson recently traveled to the UK for a series of lectures at the highly esteemed Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. This conversation was recorded during that period with Sir Roger Penrose, a British mathematical physicist who was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering that black hole formation is a robust predictor of Einsteins general relativity. Moderated by Dr. Stephen Blackwood.
